Roof Replacement Cost in CT: What Drives the Price

Roofers price by the square, which is 100 square feet of roof. A one-story ranch may be 15 to 20 squares; a two-story colonial with a garage and dormers can be 30 or more. Steep roofs need more safety setup, slower work, and more cut waste, and every hip, valley, and dormer adds flashing and labor.

Many older central-Connecticut homes carry two layers of shingles, and tear-off labor and dumpster weight scale with every layer. We tear off to the sheathing on every full replacement and dry it in the same day, so your house is never left open overnight.

Sometimes it has to. Once the shingles are off we can see the sheathing. Boards that are rotted or too thin to hold a nail don't meet our standards, so we replace them, and we flag likely decking at the estimate so it isn't a surprise.

Architectural asphalt is the baseline. We're a GAF Certified Contractor, so it comes with a manufacturer-backed warranty. Standing-seam metal and slate cost more up front and last longer. Low-slope sections over additions need an EPDM or TPO membrane, priced separately.

Yes, in every town we work in. We pull it and schedule the final inspection. Permit fees vary by town and are listed on the estimate.

Every Pattison roof includes tear-off, two rows of ice-and-water shield at the eaves (double the Connecticut code minimum), synthetic underlayment, drip edge on every rake, new flashing, a ridge vent, and an attic ventilation check. Gutters, fascia, soffit, and skylights are separate line items you can say yes or no to.

Our estimate explains every line, so you can see which of the six is moving your number, and the price on it is fair, with no pressure. The crew has roofed central Connecticut since 1991 and finishes a typical asphalt roof in a day. Customers tell us we were the ones who didn't try to sell them, and one reviewer “didn't find any nails anywhere” after we left.
